Hi I am looking for some;
Oca Tubers (oxalis Tuberosa)
to try this year, I have heard that they are nice to eat, and quite easy to grow, but I cant find any for sale anywhere.
I am also looking for some Jerusalem Artichokes "Fuseau" variety.
If you can help please PM me.
Fingers crossed
SB

Hi SkinnyBum
You can buy Oca from Real Seeds
http://www.realseeds.co.uk/unusualtubers.html
although they appear to have had huge demand and run out of stock already this year. There's also a health warning on this stuff that you shouldn't eat them if you get arthritis, rheumatism, etc as it makes it much worse, so be careful.

I have masses of Jerusalem Artichokes but as I inherited them with my plot I have no idea of the variety. If you don't get offered any Fuseau and want some of mine, please do let me know.

The artichokes are all sizes and can grow to around 4" in length. They're a bit knobbly but not overly so. I just scrub them and roast them in their skins.

Hi oxalis,
I got your PM and I have replied to you twice, but I dont know if you got it or not, as the messages seem to be sitting in my out box and I dont know what to do to get them to leave.
SB or windy bum, which ever come first.
